My Baker ancestors lived in Rowan, Wilkes and Ashe County, NC. I have another line in Lincoln Co., NC. I'm interested in this family name there and in nearby counties in Western North Carolina. If you are interested in this surname in other geographic areas then I probably have no data to share at present, however, I am willing to do a limited amount of research for hire and would be more than happy to help you in that manner for this or any other surname in any area.
